When sections of the Earth's crust shift, a large amount of energy is released as an earthquake. The ground-shaking of an earthquake can cause great damage to wildlife habitats. When a crustal shift occurs in the ocean floor, what other danger may be posed to wildlife habitats on land? 
A. A shift in the ocean floor might cause a hurricane. 
B. A shift in the ocean floor might cause a tsunami. 
C. A shift in the ocean floor will always cause landslides. 
D. A shift in the ocean floor will always cause a volcanic eruption.

Either A or D but with the volcanoes it doesn't specify if its sea volcanoes or land volcanoes

Answer:

B. A shift in the ocean floor might cause a tsunami.

Explanation:

  • As the new lands are created and the old ones are destroyed due to the tectonic thrust of the geologic process that acts from the below the earth surface and the sudden release of the energy is accompanied by the strong release of the earthquakes waves that travel large distance and thus create a type of vibration and the shaking of the ground that triggers Tsunamis and even landslides.
  • Most of the cases the danger to the habitats will result from the humans and the landslides and huge killer waves will cause flooding over the large parts of the land surface and hence endanger the coastal lands and the inner parts of the land.
  • As a process of volcanism is not sufficient to destroy the habitat of the species and its a natural process.
